I love late summer / autumnal food!

Eating with the seasons helps us feel more connected to nature and appreciate the natural rhythm of life.

It also helps to support local businesses and the economy, reduce our carbon footprint, can be more nutritious and tastier… especially if it’s homegrown like these hefty pears! 👌

June has been full on for me! Happy belated summer solstice, the peak of Yang energy. It’s time to do more enjoyable things, hobbies, get outdoors, meet friends and family, travel, and generally have a bit of fun.

What did you do for fun as a kid?…

With the help of people in the know, I’m compiling some useful information about self-care on the website. Meditation is one of the best self-care tools you can learn.

Chloë Webster It’s ya girl, Chloë 🙏] has given us a brief overview of what meditation really is and the benefits it has - Chloë runs meditation classes in Chester, Mold, and Hawarden, and one-to-one sessions. She has also featured in a whole bunch of magazines (see her website or socials for more info).

The link to the article is in my bio above or just head down to mangoacupuncture.com/meditation 🙏

Happy reading and do share your thoughts on here. Please feel free to tag anyone who would like to contribute to an article about any kind of self-care activity or holistic therapy.

Thanks again to It’s ya girl, Chloë 🙏] for sharing with us.

I know it doesn't seem like spring quite yet, but we're getting there! I've written a short article on wellbeing in spring; time to detox, and limber up (slowly)!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve been a bit disinclined to do much on socials (and in general) so far this year, but thought I’d say hello and I’m still about for all your acu needs 🙏

Spring is coming, but it’s not quite here yet, so don’t jump the gun! Easier said than done especially on a sunny day like today.

Have a great little evening and I’ll share anything interesting with you on here - there’s not much in the pipeline but it’s only Feb… who knows what the year will bring ❤️

Got Acupuncture? It’s pretty awesome. There is no universal response to acupuncture. Some people feel relaxed and may be a little tired, others feel energized and ready for anything. Some people experience an improvement right away and for others it can take several treatments before noticing a positive change. #613

The mostcommon response to acupuncture, however?

People feel happy and content. There’s a distinct balanced and harmonious feeling that acupuncture gives most people and it just feels good! 😆❤️😆🧧🐇

This is me signing off for 2022! It’s been a rollercoaster, a pleasure to be part of all my clients lives for a short time or the whole year…!

There have been ups and downs, but there has been a lot of good news this week.

Thank you to all my clients, friends, family, and online followers. And to those who have attended the new workshops this year - they wouldn’t have happened without you!
❤️
Have a great Christmas and a happy new year!

18/12/2022

It’s time to spin the wheel for the Christmas giveaway - good luck and thank you to the clients who entered by booking in regular sessions in November and December!

I’ll record the wheel spin and post on social media today 🥳

Merry Christmas!

The winter workshop went really well today, thanks to those who came and spent some time learning about seasonal living, meditating, reflecting, and stomping about 🙏

I may do another at the end of Jan or early Feb when we really need something to get us through!

If you would like more info or to join the next workshop, send me a message. There are only a handful of spaces. I’ll be posting on here too when the dates are finalised.

I’m looking for a cosy and quiet venue for the wellness workshops! Please recommend if you know anywhere in Chester 🙂

23/10/2022

The workshop today went really well! We talked about Chinese medicine theory and how living seasonally can help to preserve health.

Autumn is the season of the ‘Lung’ in TCM so it’s good to practise conscious breathing, Qi Gong, and get outside to breathe fresh air as much as we can. Eating lovely autumnal meals keeps us nourished and warm - soups and stews, apples and pears!

Mentally and emotionally, it’s all about letting go 🍃 so it’s time to declutter and reflect on anything you might be holding on to / having difficult accepting. Is it helping you to hold on? Are you ready to let it go? It’s not something that can be forced, it happens naturally when we are ready. Meditation and journalling can help you process negative attachments.

For more info check out my Autumn Health page (link in bio).

Thanks again to everyone who came along today! You made my day!

I have a small sage plant so I’ve harvested some leaves and made my own sage stick. I’ve never actually burned sage, but autumn is a good time to have a clear out and I do like a bit of a ritual.

I also tried some sage tea, which immediately sent me to sleep 😅

I have enough sage to make 2 more, without harming the plant too much. If anyone is interested in obtaining one, DM me.

I’ve been nursing a cold the past few days and one of my lovely clients made some absolutely amazing beetroot, apple, carrot, and ginger juice for me - from beetroot I’d grown, carrots they’d grown, and apples picked locally. Such a great blood and immune system tonic. Not only that, she made me some delicious seasonal veg soup too. I’ll be right as rain tomorrow 🙏🤧☺️

In traditional Chinese medicine, beetroot is great for tonifying the blood - perfect for menstruating humans🩸or anyone recovering from any sort of blood loss, or long-term illness.

Ginger is an excellent addition to any juice because as the weather is getting colder, we need to be cutting back on the cold fruit juices and eating warmer foods - so the ginger ‘warms’ it up a bit. I’m going to be extra good and physically warm this up a bit before drinking.

Just love this stuff! Will definitely be growing more beetroot next year so I can have a constant supply 😅

Thanks!

A plea for reviews! I haven’t had any reviews this entire year so far… I missed out on my 3 years consecutive ‘best rated’ award because of this 😭

So I can apply again for next years award, I need 3 good recent reviews. If you’ve ever had a session with either me or Kirsty please could you do us a huge favour and leave a review on either Google or Facebook!

Thank you so much to everyone who has already left a review in the past! They really help us to ‘get found’ online 👍

🍂 Happy Autumn Equinox! 🍂

I am welcoming autumn in by cooking up my first slow cooked stew since last winter 👩‍🍳 I collected some veggies and herbs from the allotment for it yesterday.

I’m also thinking about the next workshop for autumn health. Comment below or DM me if you are interested and I will send you some dates and more info :)

How are you celebrating or getting ready for autumn?! 🧣

28/08/2022

I’m celebrating 10 years of Mango Acupuncture next Saturday! Anyone is welcome to join me and a few friends at Manley Mere (12:30-3ish) and/or for a drink at Assembly in Chester at 8pm ish. It would be great to raise a glass to say thanks to all my clients, friends, and family, for keeping me in business! ❤️

🏄‍♀️🥂

This beautiful little pupper is this months cutest pet - Ladybird, she’s an old girl, so she’s getting lots of luxurious treatment at the moment (not acupuncture, more like chicken thighs and gravy) ❤️🐞

Just making up some digestive tea for my next workshop that focuses on… you guessed it… digestion 💩

The tea contains ginger and orange peel. Ginger is a great source of antioxidants, it helps speed up digestion, reduce bloating, is anti-emetic (reduces nausea and vomiting), and anti-inflammatory.
🍊
Orange peel is also used in Chinese medicine for acid reflux, bloating, gas, diarrhoea, and constipation. It contains a lot of vitamin C & A and other essential minerals. Also a great hangover cure…

Happy to supply my clients with some!

There’s one spot left on the workshop taking place on Saturday 13th Aug - DM me if you fancy coming along and learning a bit about how traditional Chinese medicine looks at digestive health and how we can take care of it. Particular helpful for anyone who suffers with any kind of digestive issue and/or fatigue, brain fog, overthinking or catastrophising! We will also be drinking this tea and picking some fruit and veg from the allotment.

We had a lovely break the last few days, thankfully it was slightly cooler by the sea than in Chester! I hope you all get chance to be by the water this summer 🌞
